In an Ask Me Anything on Reddit, they said it can be seen in the sky near Aquarius in October. IT'S THE AGE OF AQUARIUS!

Oh man if this and the EM drives actually work, This.. this could be a feasible adventure within the next hundred years.

THEY THINK THERE COULD BE LIFE TOO. They'll be monitoring the atmospheres to see if there's any gases that aren't naturally created to be there. Which would indicate something made it. AND AND they have everything pointed over there listening.

It's only 40 light years away! As vivi22 said to me, that's like two houses down the street in the terms of the universe!

"NASA's upcoming James Webb Telescope, launching in 2018, will take over with a much higher sensitivity. It will be able to detect the chemical fingerprints of water, methane, oxygen, ozone, and other components of a planet's atmosphere."

One thing that always annoys me, though: "There might be water! In which case, there might be life!"

Like, in all of the universe's complex mystery, you truly can't comprehend a planet or life-form that doesn't need water or an ozone to survive? Certainly we need this things on our planet to survive, but there's nothing prohibiting other life-forms from evolving and adapting to need or not need things humans (and other Earth species) require to exist.

Honestly, that sort of thinking is probably a good indicator of why we are where we are, and why no other intelligent life has contacted us if they've had the opportunity or ability; human minds think so small.

There are many theories about just these sorts of life forms that could exist without the elements we require to live. But we focus on planets with the ingredients for life like ours predominantly because those are so far all hypothetical and ours is the only planet we've confirmed life to exist on. If we focus on trying to find conditions like ours we're far more likely to find life we can actually recognize as life, and not some silicon based rock eating creature that we need Spock to mind meld with to realize it's intelligent.
